Diodes are an electronic component that often acts as a semiconductor. A semiconductor is a particular material that conducts electricity
to a varying degree. Semiconductors will often employ a process known as "doping" where a small amount of an impurity is mixed into the
silicon crystal, allowing the degree of conductivity to change in order to fulfill a specific requirement. In a circuit, a diode
will direct the flow of electricity in one direction while preventing electrical flow in the opposite direction. In essence, one can say
that diodes act as sort of a traffic controller for a circuit. For example, a common application of a diode is in a device with
user-replaceable batteries. If the battery is installed backwards, the diode will block the current from leaving the battery.
